Stu, Perhaps you were misreading. The 2 anagrams of that rack are WETHERS and WRETHES. I just checked using my copy of Quackle 0.95, and those were the two words it gave as choices. Can you check again and make sure you weren't just misreading? If it still gives you a phoney as one of the choices, then it may be bug in your version (it always helps to quote the version number you're using). Anand
